H77

Year after year, I see here a lot of the same bird species (and, I rather suspect, the same individuals where those species are poorly represented). I first saw this trumpeter swan in the river on May 7, and again the following day. I thought it had moved on, but there it was yesterday — flying a couple of circles before heading upriver. I know there are trumpeters on the lake (Ontario) but this is the first one I've seen in this locale. Ontario trumpeters sport yellow wing-tags for easy identification.
